Hi,

I’m loading some images from a web service and use a MovieClipLoader to load the image. In the onLoadInit() I set the new width and height of the image. ( This must be done after the image is completely loaded )

My problem is that the image has poor qualtity. The quality around the edges isn’t as the original image. Is there a way to improve the image to just scale as movieclip.\_width and movieclip.\_height isn’t the best way to go.
